For 25 years, I taught Multilingual Learners of English in Asia and the United States, including 16 years at a public school in Massachusetts. Teaching Social Studies to 5th – 8th grade ELLs in my own classroom; doing push-in ESL in ELA, Science, and Math classes; and providing professional development to educators about working with English Learners has given me the knowledge and experience to help you ace your teaching so you can help your MLEs achieve success in your classes.
